I could see it as a useful abstraction instead of directly generating assembly. To me the idea behind llvm seems nice and clean and academic to a certain degree. It can see it as something to look out for in the future. On 9/13/07, brad clawsie <clawsie@fastmail.fm> wrote:
has anyone ever considered using llvm as a infrastructure for haskell compilation? it wold seem people are looking at building frontends for scheme, ocaml, etc. i don't know if an alternate backend is appropriate, but it would seem to be an interesting way to aggregate the best thinking for various optimizations over a more diverse group of developers. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
